gettype
Regarding the last post:
When $_GET[$k] is compared against NULL or '' (empty string) inside the foreach loop, it should be compared only against one of the expressions or strict equality operator should be used.
In this case, second part of expression ($_GET[$k] == NULL) will be *never* executed, because of NULL gets converted to empty string.
Also be aware that zero is equal (==) to empty string, so if passing zeroes through the $_GET, use strict comparsion to check whether variable exist or not.
Next notice: when nothing will be set into $_GET array, all comparsions will generate lot of E_NOTICE errors, because you are accessing unassigned variable.
<?
// Slightly modified previous example
$input = array('name' => null, 'age' => 26) ;
// 26 is the default age, if $_GET['age'] is empty or not set
/**
* Extracts $_GET variables to global scope by the definition from the $input array
* @return void
*/
function extract_get() {
global $input;
if (isset($input) && is_array($input)) foreach ($input as $k => $v) {
if (!isset($_GET[$k])) {
$GLOBALS[$k] = $v;
continue;
}
$getval = $_GET[$k];
if ($getval === null || $getval === '') {
$getval = $v;
} elseif (is_numeric($v)) {
$getval = (int) $getval;
} elseif (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1) {
$getval = stripslashes_deep($getval);
}
$GLOBALS[$k] = $getval;
unset($getval);
}
}

import_request_variables
(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)
import_request_variables — Importa variáveis GET/POST/Cookie para o escopo global
Descrição
bool import_request_variables
( string $types
[, string $prefix
] )
Importa variáveis GET/POST/Cookie para o escopo global. É útil se você desabilita register_globals, mas você poderia ver algunas variáveis no escopo global.
Se você está interessado em importar outras variáveis para o escopo global, como uma a SERVER, utilize a função extract().
Parâmetros
- types
-
Usando o parâmetro types , você pode especificar que variáveis serão importadas. Você pode usar os caracteres 'G', 'P' e 'C' respectivamente para GET, POST e Cookie. Estes caracteres não são case sensitive, então você pode também usar qualquer combinação de 'g', 'p' e 'c'. POST inclue informação sobre arquivos enviados.
Nota: Note que a ordem das letras, como usando "gp", a variável POST irá sobreescrever variáveis GET com mesmo nome. Algumas outras letras como GPC são descartadas.
- prefix
-
Prefixo no nome de variáveis, prepara todos os nomes de variáveis antes de ser importadas para o escopo global. Então se você tem um valor GET nomeado "userid", e fornece "pref_" como prefixo, então você terá uma variável global chamada $pref_userid.
Nota: Embora o parâmetro prefix seja opcional, você irá receber E_NOTICE se você especificar não especificar prefixo, ou se o prefixo for uma string vazia. Isto é possível perigo. Notices não são mostrados usando o padrão error reporting level.
Valor Retornado
Retorna TRUE em caso de sucesso ou FALSE em falhas.
Exemplos
Exemplo #1 Exemplo da import_request_variables()
<?php
// This will import GET and POST vars
// with an "rvar_" prefix
import_request_variables("gp", "rvar_");
echo $rvar_foo;
?>

What i do is have a small script in my header file that takes an array called $input, and loops through the array to extract variables. that way the security hole can be closed, as you specify what variables you would like extracted
$input = array('name' => null, 'age' => 26) ;
// 26 is the default age, if $_GET['age'] is empty or not set
function extract_get()
{
global $input ;
if ($input)
{
foreach ($input as $k => $v)
{
if ($_GET[$k] == '' or $_GET[$k] == NULL)
{
$GLOBALS[$k] = $v ;
}
else
{
$GLOBALS = $_GET[$k] ;
}
}
}
}

reply to ceo AT l-i-e DOT com:
I don't think it's a risk, as all of your request variables will be tagged with the prefix. As long as you don't prefix any of your internal variables with the same, you should be fine.
If someone tries to access an uninitiated security-related variable like $admin_level through request data, it will get imported as $RV_admin_level.

PHP5 seems to have fixed that, in the sense that import_request_variables("g") works like extract($_GET). It doesn't seem to be passing a reference to the global, but instead creating a copy of it as expected

oops, a typo in my comment:
The last line in the second example (the on using the extract() function) should read:
echo $_GET['var']; # prints 1, so $_GET has been unchanged

Beware:
import_request_variables() does not copy the request variables into local scope variables. Instead, it copies the *reference* to the request variable content to local variables Important implication: any change to the local variable means a changes to the respective request variable, too!
This is a clear difference to extract($_GET) which copies the content of the request variables into local variables.
To shed some light on the implication, consider this (assuming the query string "...&var=1"):
echo $_GET['var']; # prints: 1
import_request_variables();
echo $var; # prints 1
$var = 2;
echo $_GET['var']; # prints 2 !!!!
So, $_GET has changed as well!
On the other hand:
echo $_GET['var']; # prints: 1
extract($_GET);
echo $var; # prints 1
$var = 2;
echo $_GET['var']; # prints 2 !!!!
Because of this, I recommend NOT using import_request_variables(), but extract($_GET); extract($_POST); extract($_COOKIE); instead, since this combination bears not these unexspected side effects.
PS: not to mention that you have to reconsider your coding style if any need to import_request_variables arises at all!

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that if you use this function, even WITH the prefix, then you might as well just turn register_globals back on...
Sooner or later, somebody will find a "hole" with your prefixed variables in an un-initialized variable.
Better to import precisely the variables you need, and initialize anything else properly.

import_request_variables does *not* read from the $_GET, $_POST, or $_COOKIE arrays - it reads the data directly from what was submitted. This is an important distinction if, for example, the server has magic_quotes turned on and you massage the data to run stripslashes on it; if you then use import_request_variables, your variables will still have slashes in them.
In other words: even if you say $_GET=""; $_POST=""; then use import_request_variables, it'll still get all the request data.
If you change the contents of $_GET and you then want to bring this data into global variables, use extract($_GET, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, "myprefix") instead.
